TY - JOUR AU - Bender, Michael T. AU - Niederman, Michael S. PY - 2018 TI - Treatment guidelines for community-acquired pneumonia JF - Annals of Research Hospitals; Vol 2 (June 2018): Annals of Research Hospitals Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - Published guidelines for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) have informed management and treatment recommendations for 25 years. Since inception, CAP guidelines have been developed for nearly every region of world, in part owing to improved mortality, clinical outcomes, and costs associated with implementation of guideline based care. This review highlights reasons why guidelines remain useful, overviews the similarities and differences among global CAP guidelines, and focuses on the treatment principles underpinning management recommendations, and addresses treatment issues that should be resolved in future CAP guidelines.
